Not his best........2005-04-29

It was good when it came out, but at the moment I can only listen to a couple of songs on this one. I had resold this CD in the past and bought it again recently, and now I can remember why I got rid of it.

His music has progressed for the *better* since this came out and here's why. Jim is a very gifted and melodic writer, and his melodies have a difficult time surfacing in a "one man band" setting such as solo piano.

Not only that, when he has other musicians supporting him it frees him up to really express himself on the piano through the chords and structure of the songs, as well as the melody whenever that allows for it. To play like a real musician. It's all Jim's music anyways regardless of who is helping him execute it.

So I say let the caged bird(s) sing.

Excellent CD.......2001-03-25

This is definitely my favorite instrumental CD. I gave my copy of this CD to my brother years ago and never bought another one for myself. Re-listening to the track tapes on Amazon, I realized how much I missed his soothing and moving melodies. It is a wonderful CD to listen to and just relax or de-stress while in the car.

graceful, gentle, evocative.......2001-02-22

It's not what I'd call easy listening but the depth of the melodies and the cheerful, joyful sounds of Mr Chappell's piano are first-rate and appear to be almost perfectly matched for the piano. It's become one of my favorite CD's.

He is truly an amazing and talented pianist/artist. He expresses his amazing talents through his music. Thank you for the happiness you provide through this beautiful music!

the piano in all its glory.......2000-02-07

i had originally listened to two of the recordings off of this album during an april program of hearts of space..ode to an ancient silhouette was the one that always stood out and played in my head.i had taped this program had lost the tape some years ago however the song remained to play in my head .it took until jan of 2000 to finally track down which song and artist this music accompanied,and the joy of clicking on the sample of ode to an ancient silhouette and hearing the music that had been playing in my head only for quite some time now..jim chappell is amazing and thanks to amazon.com for making this possible..
